G’s Place

Overall, it was better than I thought it would be. Johnny Depp is really a great actor. BUT…..here’s what I didn’t like. (this may be spoiler-y if you haven’t seen the movie and don’t know the story

1. No opening song. (WHAT?)
2. A Little Priest just lost the humor, the timing, the singing, the weird harmonies, I don’t know what it was. But it just wasn’t what it should have been. Here is how the song should be done:
   1. Angela Lansburry & George Hearn
   2. Patti Lupone & George Hearn
      
   3. Patti Lupone & Michael Cerveris
3. Did we really need to see the Italian’s junk? I mean, really?
4. In the play, the music is almost like a character. In the movie, the blood is more like a character. They just happen to sing too.

So, go see the movie, it’s ok. But BE SURE to support live theater in your area, and see this performed on the stage.

So, I am the only one up. It’s friggin 9:03 (AM) and everyone is asleep.

Today, we do what we do every year…go to a movie and go to the Chinese Buffet. There was a big fight over the movie this year…Kenny wanted to see Sweeney Todd. No one else did because 1. Depp CANNOT sing, and 2. They are going to change the story to make it more commercial and 3. The music is an important character!! BAH!!! So, Brian made a randomizer and wouldn’t you know it, Sweeney Todd won. sigh.

I am very anxious today. Some of it is over work. I’m trying not to think about it. But I have alot I need to pick up in a short amount of time with no equipment to really play with. That freaks me out. No seriously FREAKS.ME.OUT. VMware is fine, to a point… I need some equipment.

I leave for a week-long conference in about a week and a half…and Brianna is going to her friend’s. That freaks me out too. I think that is probably making me the most anxious of all. That trip starts a two-month period where I am traveling A LOT. bleh.

I start school on the 7th, two classes this time. I got one of my books and it *looks* easy. I wish I could check on my classes to see if anything has been posted (like a syllabus), but Blackboard has been down for about 4 days now. Oh yeah, and I have THREE tuition checks to mail out this week.

Brian won’t sign up for facebook. Or twitter. It’s pissing me off!!

At least my house will be clean. That’s something I suppose.

Velvet has been eating, so we are happy about that. He is acting a little better, but he is so skinny. I don’t think we’ll ever get him back to how he was:

OK, let me try and think of some positive things because this has become quite pathetic. Ummm it’s not snowing. It’s not super cold outside. I have money to pay all the bills. I started a Billy Bowlegs fund (I want to come down for Billy Bowlegs this year!!) Brianna got good grades, I think Kenny did ok. I haven’t gained weight…I am maintaining (which was my goal until Jan 1). I don’t have it bad at all…I don’t know why I am complaining.

And a hairy sleepy man just came and gave me a kiss…so it’s all good.
